Susan Stephens: July & the Yorkshire Moors

July,
and we have blazing sunshine on the Yorkshire moors...

The UK generally gets a bad press for
weather, and the Yorkshire moors are most commonly thought of as being bleak,
but we are enjoying the most beautiful summer here on the backbone of England,
as the Pennine hills are known.

You can just catch a glimpse of my faithful
friend Betty in the second picture. It’s almost too hot for dogs, and Betty
prefers to shelter in my office underneath my desk. By coincidence, I’m sure, ho-hum,
my office is also where I keep Betty’s treat tin!

It may not seem credible to set a sultry
romance on the Yorkshire moors where Wuthering Heights was conceived, but my
August 11th release, Seducing the Princess is set in a small city not too dissimilar
to York.

I love a bodyguard romance, and hope you do
too J

I’m thrilled to share the news that I am
about to sign a new, multi-book contract with my publisher Harlequin Mills
& Boon, and I can promise lots of high octane stories coming your way from
SS, starting with a brand new series. Look out for more news coming soon.

It does seem that things will be ROYAL all the way for me for the rest
of the year. This exciting ebook collection is a September release. These are
all re-issues of previous stories, but anthologies are the best way to catch up
with those books you might have missed.

And how about this for a cover?? Do you
think it’s the red dress that makes this cover so compelling? I’d love to know
what you think. The heroine looks so wistful to me. My story, His Forbidden Diamond, is from my Ice
and FireSkavanga series.

I’m aching to see the cover for my ‘Royal’
Christmas release, ‘A Night of Royal
Consequences’. The art department
deserves huge thanks for creating such stunning images.

Here are another couple of stunning images of
Yorkshire, just because...

The weather has been so outstanding that we
have even had rare Lapwings breeding close by our home, and I saw not one, but
two breeding pairs, which is beyond thrilling!

I hope the month of July is full of joy and
wonderful surprises for you.

And if you are feeling chilly in spite of
the weather, I have the answer ;)
